Let's look at the sentence Hopefully he won't win
Bindiiwalu requires a subject and an object. the subject already exists as him; although the sentence does not contain an object, what won't he win? because the sentence doesn't say exactly, we use the word ukjak which exists as an abstract object similar to the english thing. We can now think of this sentence as Hopefully he won't win 'the thing'.
Bindiiwalu also doesn't use terms like I, or him, rather substituting those for names for the noun 'human' with appropriate inflection, I becomes the equivalent me, human, while you becomes the equivalent you, human.
'hopefully' is an english word inflection meaning full of hope, bindiiwalu would use the equivalent 'want'
We could use the negative adjective 'not' in front of the verb 'win', although this is a negative identifier which should always be avoided when possible, it is preferable to change the wording from won't win to lose
Bindiiwalu also holds tenses and connotations, in this sentence we are speaking in a future tense as we can assume the event has yet to have taken place, while he is being spoken about in a negative way, which gives him a negative connotation.
We also must remember that nouns cannot be third person, but only third person plural, which acts essentially the same.
We can now think of this sentence as I want them to lose the thing, which is easily translatable as nayajiil ngbiŗupii nónayapŷl didiŗupii uruukjak, or directly as; human (first person) want (future tense) human (subject) (negative connotation) (third person plural) lose (future tense), thing (object) ; or rather nayajiil(human) ngbiŗupii(want) nónayapŷl(human) didiŗupii(lose) uruukjak(thing)
